Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced features 34 outfits for Edward Kenway—and contrary to rumors, they are purely cosmetic. There are no bonuses to health, stealth, or damage. Even the legendary Mayan and Templar armors, which offered tangible advantages in the original game, have lost their unique properties in the remake; those effects have been moved to separate amulets. However, your choice of outfit still matters. Some can only be obtained right now during the free giveaway in the Helix Store, while others require dozens of hours of hunting for rare resources. Here is where to find each outfit and how to get started without wasting time.

Which outfit to get first: priorities for beginners
If you are just starting your journey in the Caribbean, don’t try to get all 34 outfits at once. Here are 5 outfits worth acquiring first, taking into account the latest changes in the remake.
1. Bronze Nomad Set (free Helix pack)
Priority: CRITICAL
Limited-time offer—duration unknown. Claim it now, even if you don’t plan to wear it. Plus, you’ll get a pistol with a unique perk that really helps in firefights.
2. Captain Morgan’s Outfit (Captain Morgan’s Redingote)
Priority: HIGH
The most “pirate-like” outfit in the game—and one of the easiest to get. It is found in a chest on Black Island at coordinates 914, 618. It’s easy to reach, and the outfit looks prestigious.
3. Mayan Armor (Mayan Outfit)
Priority: MEDIUM
This outfit used to provide bullet protection; now, in the remake, it is purely cosmetic, with the bonus moved to the Yash-Tun amulet. You unlock it by collecting all 16 Mayan stones scattered across the archipelago. You’ll also get the amulet that completely absorbs damage from firearms.
4. Feline Pelt Outfit
Priority: LOW (for collectors)
Crafted at the Treasure Merchant on Great Inagua. Requires 2 ocelot pelts, 6 jaguar pelts, 1 white jaguar pelt, and 2 black jaguar pelts. It looks wild and unique—but farming the materials takes time.
5. “Legendary Edward” Outfit
Priority: LOW
A reward for fully restoring and upgrading all buildings on Great Inagua during the “Former Glory” side mission. A symbolic outfit for the game’s finale—not for the early game.

Where can you get resources for crafted outfits?
The crafting economy has changed significantly in the remake. While you used to be able to simply buy missing pelts from a merchant with coins, merchants now prefer barter and demand animal bones. The chance of a bone dropping from a carcass is random, and the trick of instantly respawning animals via fast travel no longer works—a killed animal only reappears after an internal timer expires.
Key animals and their habitats
Efficient bone-farming route
Guide creators recommend a loop covering three locations:
-
Nassau → kill three crocodiles in the swamp and two boars nearby.
-
West side of Havana → eliminate two boars and one jaguar.
-
Jibara → hunt two boars in the jungle and a white jaguar nearby.
The entire cycle takes about five minutes—11 animals per run, each with a chance to drop a bone.
Alternative: Purchasing
Once the Smuggler’s Den on Great Inagua is restored, bones appear in his inventory—costing 1,000 reales each. It’s expensive, but if you have spare coins, it’s faster.
FAQs about Outfits in Black Flag Resynced
Do the outfits provide bonuses?
No. In the remake, all outfits are purely cosmetic. The unique bonuses associated with the Mayan and Templar armor in the original game are now tied to specific amulets.
How many outfits are there in the game?
34 outfits for Edward Kenway.
Where are the Altaïr and Ezio outfits?
They aren’t in the remake yet. They might appear later in the Animus Exchange shop, purchasable with keys.
Can I switch back to Duncan Walpole’s outfit after Edward changes clothes?
Yes. In Resynced, the developers kept the option to switch back to this outfit at any time—a feature that didn’t exist in the original.
Do the methods for obtaining outfits differ from the original?
Yes. Some outfits have been moved to chests and treasure maps, locations have changed, and crafted outfits now require animal bones instead of simply purchasing materials.

In addition to the Helix Store, Ubisoft periodically releases promo codes for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. You can redeem these on the official website or within the game menu to unlock exclusive weapon skins, outfits, and pets. Since some codes are time-limited, it’s worth checking the publisher’s social media channels or dedicated aggregator sites for the latest offers. Unlike the Helix Store giveaway, these require entering a specific code rather than simply claiming a permanent store item.
